More Mattel Head Glue Mess.

So this was posted on X:

And it caused a lot of collectors/enthusiasts to be kind of mean to OP for trusting a tutorial by a well-known doll rehabber (keep in mind, well known doesn't mean they know what they're doing...) and trying that person's glue head removal method of saturating the hair in WD-40 then washing it, causing the hair to all fall out.

They were also saying she should have used L.A.'s Totally Awesome, because we all know that works well and is generally safe. Generally.

At first I was sure that the problem wasn't the oil because oil does degrade plastics, yes, but not THAT fast. I figured the glue being removed made the hair fall out in that removing the glue removes the hairs' anchor inside the head.

I thought this doll had Saran and tried WD-40 on a Barbie because I can't assume I know exactly what happened without having tried this method, but Barbie's hair was fine. WD-40 is very fast at removing the head glue (but difficult to wash out again, just like Goo Gone in our hard water), but still not recommended due to the way oils degrade plastics.

Then @oak23 told me this doll does NOT have Saran hair, she has a special hair fiber meant to hold a shape without heat.

That changes things!

So I ordered one of the same doll on eBay to test on and she got here yesterday.

Her hair is already breaking around the scalp and the hair texture looked weird, there.

That got me thinking the head glue is what's destroying the hair fiber, not the removal method, in this case, oil. That supports my earlier theory that applying oil didn't instantly destroy the hair.

I gave her a quick wash because she was dirty, chopped off some of her hair right up by the scalp so there was gluey and not-gluey hair, and soaked samples in T.A. and WD-40 for two hours.

I can't record while I'm working but after that 2 hour period I pulled the samples out, held it in both hands, and yanked on them hard.

I also yanked on the hair still attached to the head, which did not break any more than it had when I had combed it.

The WD-40 hair, when yanked, did not break. When I pulled specifically at the ends that had glue, though, just that area disintegrated!

The Totally Awesome soaked hair had the same results when yanked.

However, the hair broke apart even more at the glue end than the sample treated with WD-40!

This tells me that the head glue is what caused the hair to destabilize either by changing it's composition in some way or by integrating with the hair, and regardless of the glue removal method, once the glue was dissolved, the affected hair fell apart.

Link back to the post full of links to the other post about this issue:

[firespirited]

hey!! I have a question about removing glue with cif cream, is it normal that the glue just turns white and "dries up" after soaking? Or should it be completely dissolved? The smell of cif lingers from the inside of the head, and general the whole head has cif smell after a few months:( is it normal?

Hi, the phenoxyethenol in cif and other power cleaners doesn't dissolve the glue, it transforms it from sticky waxy yellow to a harder white substance that can be scraped + tapped out of the head or left there (because it doesn't leech out anymore).

It's more of a glue neutraliser/stabilisation process than glue removal per se.

Which is why more glue is removed if the doll has more fluid glue that then turns into tiny white flakes.

Before I found the less scented Cif product contained the phenoxyethenol, I was using a floor cleaner with a really strong orange blossom smell and left the dolls outside for a week so the smell would wear off.

If you are in the EU or Canada there are websites that disclose the ingredients on household cleaners, if you find one that's unscented and has "non ionic surfectants" marked on the front in small print, you can see if the product contains a variant of ethoxylated alcohol which seems to be the key chemical in Totally Awesome cleaner (US only - See Tiffy's experiments at @imreadydollparts)

Y'know, I thought that Monster High g3 would be be rebooting more of the popular older characters (outside of the core) to keep the hype up, but so far we've only gotten...abbey, venus, twyla, some leaks and like 15 versions of draculaura (most of which have the same hair). I'm just surprised at the ratio of core character dolls vs other characters. I know catty, spectra, and the werecats have been leaked as well, but who knows when they're coming.

I get that drac's the most popular and is pink (which apparently mattel wants to focus on for mh but not barbie for some reason...) but dang, can't they at least make an elissabat or something if they want to focus on vamps so much?

I really want to see other characters be rebooted, bc so far I'm really liking these new bodies and faces, but it seems like it'll take a while.

[taybatwo2]

I finally finished (mostly) the micro MICRO braids on G3 Catty. Each one was made up of either one or two hair plugs in order for it to blend in with her factory braids. She really needed to have a full head of braids (we know you can do it Mattel).

I finished sealing them with glue, but I should probably trim up the extra bits at the end that I couldn’t braid.

But if I trim them…I might have to re-seal them…and I’ll lose the length….uggggghhhhh

These are the smallest micro braids I’ve ever done for a doll (my other ones are usually three-four hair plugs).

Edit:

I finished trimming the extra bit on her hair and I didn’t even need to reseal very many of them.

She is so pretty.

So many braids!!!

I should start thinking about making her a luxurious black and pink fur coat.

Is it good that I've gotten to a point where I can stay out of a thread RE mattel head glue, or have I become lazy?

[dolljunk]

Even though I am very happy to own him due to how sought after he is, he is unfortunately suffering from a few issues I felt I needed to express.

First off, his clothing is not worth the $90 price tag, let alone whatever is going on in the secondary market. Having laser-cut single-sided printed cheap satin for the majority of his outfit is not it, especially since it isn't even separated, unlike other Skullector dolls. I'm genuinely shocked at how low-quality his clothes are since they should have a minimum level of quality. His sleeves aren't tailored correctly; they bunch up a lot, and with the cheap satin, they're heavily wrinkled.

For the price, his waistcoat should have been removable as it was an extraneous design element, and it added bulk to his outfit that shouldn't needed to be added. Mattel's use of the cheap-looking shiny satin is ridiculous as they could use an equally cheap matte cotton fabric instead, which would improve the appearance. Also, the fact it's black print on white fabric means the underside of the coat looks really unfinished, whereas I think a black fabric with white print would have looked much better and suited the animated style better.

With the plastic form to go over his skeleton torso, it isn't shaped like a torso piece, unlike G1 Skelita's plastic piece. Rather, it's an ill-fitting rectangle of plastic that floats about and doesn't sit flush with the torso, so it actually deforms his clothes to the point his pants don't cover his behind. This is just a really poor toy design, plain and simple.

I also do hate that his bowtie clips aren't sculpted to go around far enough around his neck; there isn't enough grip on the neck, so you're dependent on an elastic band to keep the thing in place.

Also, randomly, his torso plate unclips off. There is no glue; nothing attaches it together. There's nothing I can see why this design is here aside from saving money on a manufacturing level, as having it glued together would require more labour costs and more room for error for quality control.

And the most irritating thing is the fact that Jack's head is so squatly shaped that his long neck peg actually deforms the top of his head if you pose it too weirdly, so I ended up having to clip it off before boiling his head to get it to be undeformed.

Like, if I didn't have a very random set of circumstances that led me to own him, I would be very upset at how poorly designed this doll is and that I'm going to have to make my own outfit that meets a level of care that is lacking in this doll.

Punk Skunk Girl and Punk Cat Boy doll set finished Sat. Nov. 16 2024 with pictures—took forever, finally done

I was really pleased with how these anthropomorphic cat boy and skunk girl dolls turned out. The heads (with original hairstyles) came from the 2020s MGA LOL OMG Hair Hair Hair pets line, which were all music-themed. The bodies came from Tomy(?) posable artist figures from AliExpress. I made most of their clothes (with contributions from toy companies MGA, Zuru, and Mattel), and I made all of their rock and rock accessories.

The tiny, male and female, black vinyl hinged and ball socket artist figure bodies caused many delays in finishing these this year, as the joints would break when they were moved. I had to use a combination of superglue with water putty powder, and sometimes black felt and super glue to stabilize and repair breaks. (Then I’d seal, paint black, seal, and repeat the steps when the joints inevitably broke again.) But there was nothing else available for doll bodies in black in this scale.

I made his black jeans, his black mesh top, her red sweater, her stretchy black tights, and her skirt from scratch from old jeans, an unused Forever 21 clearance cocktail dress, black scraps, and a new holiday-themed sock. His gold tone belt buckle is a tiny piece broken off of some bit of doll accessory or doll jewelry (likely Mattel Barbie). The printed top layer of her skirt was made by gathering the long printed satin care instructions in multiple languages from the dress tag.

His clear neon green “studded” vest came in a handful of MGA LOL OMG doll clothes and accessories bought at this spring’s Port Costa town-wide yard sale (studs had to be reglued, as they shed off the vinyl). His black cotton jacket and her black, red, and silver sleeveless top came from a new set of MGA Little Bratz clothes bought years ago. (The top came with “punk” printed in red on the fabric and the faux silver zipper trim.) Her boots were bought this year with a Barbie Extra Mini doll (which I bought primarily for parts) and painted black and sealed with Testor’s sealant.

His black Doc Marten-style boots (with real laces and tongue) and her black polka dotted bow came from this year’s Zuru Mini Fashion series 3 surprise ball pack. (A high quality detailed series of miniatures—I bought only the 2023-2024 series that came with fashion doll shoes.)

I made his neon green “studded” wrist bands from cheap plastic tube beads from Michael’s and painted the studs on with textured silver fabric paint (sealed with Testor’s Dullcote before and after), which is how I made the “studded” red band in her hair.

The parts of the outfits I was most pleased with are their 1980s rock band buttons and emblems. I printed out images from the original band merchandise online on our injet printer, then affixed them to either white thumb tacks, white card paper, or off-white felt with Mod Podge, then I sealed them with Mod Podge 3D “dimensional” clear coating.

His Oingo Boingo square green album button (with cat and Christmas graphic) is from “Nothing to Fear.” (I bent a wire into a square to be a “pin back” attachment glued to the card backing in this button.) His jacket patch (attached to his jacket with a rougher punk DIY style of stitching) is from the first EP “Oingo Boingo,” featuring the Louis Wain cat. Her yellow, pink, and orange Oingo Boingo Louis Wain cat button is supposedly the first button from the first EP.

I used the same method to create her Dead Milkman cow logo button, but I used a rubbery earring packaging plug (which comes on the ends of new earring wires) to affix it to the lapel, instead bending the thumb tack stem back with needle nose pliers, as I did with the other buttons. On her blouse collar’s lapel is a Siouxie and the Banshees band button with a portrait of the lead singer. Some of the ink came off in the glueing, so I carefully filled in the missing bits with a black felt tip pen before sealing.

Saturday morning, I photographed the pair posing together and dancing (including tgeir doing the Pogo) on our white brick mantel in the living room, with the natural light supplemented by a clip-on halo light (attached to my iPhone 13) and my flexible bedroom lamp twisted up from under my arm.

I enjoyed putting these together. It was a similar creative process as when, a few years ago, I repaired and made over some damaged old Sunshine Family dolls into 1980s teens and 1990s Seattle grunge skater kids. I think the pink and black mohawk on the MGA cat head gave me the impetus for this pair.

[sleepytoycollection]

one fun thing about getting into FiM so late is that it's just old enough the kids-now-teens are all donating their mlp toys and I can get fulls sets of characters for less than $10.

Some of these were a bitch to clean though. Idk what kind of hair gel Hasbro was using, but it was like trying to get rid of mattel's head glue. It wouldn't dissolve in water, I had to soak the girls in LA's TA to get that stuff out.

other than that it's fun to have everyone together. You may have noticed I like having sets lol.

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

Ignore this if you want but please write a ryan gosling!Ken x Shy!human!Reader? Like I can’t stop thinking about Ken being human and a dad of a infant son who’s a mommy boy and Ken brings them to Barbie land, just hardcore fluff? Like everyone is happy to see the reader again but also happy to see a baby. So cute shy reader brings her infant son to girls night. 💖💖💖💖💖💖

"You think they'll like him?"

"They'll love him, [y/n]. I'm sure of it." Ken popped his head out of the camper van's window, smiling as he saw you sitting outside on the lawn chair.

You weren't the only people making a trip back to Barbieland, however, as you were currently cradling your pride and joy:

It was your infant son, who had the same hair color as you, and the same bright blue eyes as his father.

Yes, the baby was also Ken's.

After he decided to become human with your help (and a whole lot of patience), he was finally at a place where he felt genuinely happy with his life and purpose:

He started working for Mattel to advocate for the Ken dolls and skyrocket their sales, got married to you--his owner who finalized his decision to leave all his dollness behind, and settled down in a house that you could both call your own.

Despite all of these great happenings, however, he did feel like something else was missing.

Something that he desperately wanted to experience as a man.

And no, it had nothing to do with horse or beach or patriarchy.

It was fatherhood.

During his second time in the Real World, he's seen families bonding with their kids in movies, books, and even just walking down the street.

He was a bit embarrassed about obsessing over horses and ignoring the beauty of humanity happening all around him back then.

But now? He got to truly appreciate it.

While Ken didn't explicitly tell you that he wanted to know what it's like to raise a family, you could just tell from his lingering stares and smiles that he would give anything to experience that.

So you had some conversations about it, and you were absolutely happy to have a kid with him.

Yet after coming home from the clinic with the confirmation that you were pregnant, he became utterly terrified, his mind cluttered with the "what-ifs"?

He knew that he messed up a lot as Barbie's handcrafted boyfriend, and even as a human...that guilt followed him back to the Real World. He may have left behind the pastels and plastics, but these overwhelming emotions stuck to him like super glue.

He's just so, so afraid of screwing up again. Or that his expectations of fatherhood will fall short and the kid will hate him if they knew what he-

But you reassured Ken he was going to be a great father; him worrying about raising them right before they're even born just shows it.

Those nerves finally went away the moment he got to hold his son in the delivery room, sobbing after he realized he helped create this beautiful life with you.

Something that he, a dumb blond plastic doll who only knew how to do beach, never thought he'd get to experience.

Like Barbie, he finally got to be the creator...rather than the created.

Now he couldn't wait to revisit Barbieland with you and introduce his child to everyone there.

You've taken a trip there a few times before, so you were well aware of the long rollerblade-snowmobile-camper van-tandem bike-rocketship-speedboat-convertible journey ahead.

This time however, you were reasonably nervous, given you now had one extra fragile passenger to take care of.

Luckily, it's been a rather smooth trip so far, and your son didn't make a single fuss.

Not in the freezing cold during your snowmobile ride...and not even when a mama bear was currently emerging from the surrounding woods, approaching you both. You still held him closely, staying calm and cool, knowing these animals wouldn't hurt you.

Ken, on the other hand, damn near jumped out the window to drive the scary beast away--his newly-acquired dad instincts kicking into maximum overdrive.

But you took notice and hushed him, before turning back to the bear who was now sniffing you and your son with curiosity. You got to pet her on the head, and eventually she huffed and left you two alone.

"See?" You glanced back at your husband, amused that his torso was now halfway out the window. "Seriously, Ken? There's a door y'know."

"W-Well...had to make sure my family is safe! But I see you got it under control...g-good job, sweetie!" He forced a smile, although he was clearly struggling.

"....are you stuck?"

"......maybe."

'Great...now I'm dealing with two children.' Shaking your head, you gently set your baby in the carrier, before going to help Ken.

Yeah, this trip was going to be longer than you thought.

And not because of the kid.

................

"Barbies! Kens! Allan! We're back!"

"Oh my god!"

"Everybody STOP what you're doing!! It's [y/n] and Ken!!"

"Hi [y/n]!!"

"Hi Ken!!"

"Welcome back guys!!"

"Ken, dude!!!"

"[Y/n]! How you've been-??!"

"Guys, guys..at least let us get out first." After stepping out of the car, you looked around at the dolls surrounding you and Ken, seeing that Barbieland had gone through some changes since the last time you've seen it.

Nevertheless, it still felt warm and welcoming. Like your second home at this point.

With a bashful smile, you cradled your son closely to your chest, sighing as you wondered how you'll break the news to them. You were never one to make huge announcements...especially as everydoll here now had their eyes on you.

Weird Barbie--now in a uniform fitting for the garbage workers here--was quick to notice the bundle of blue you were holding, tilting her head. "What's that you got there, hun? A gift for us?"

"O-Oh! This is...um-"

"Oh it's not just any gift you can buy, Weird Barbie," Ken interjected, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes as he wrapped an arm around you, smiling from ear-to-ear. "We have brought to you the gift...of life!!"

There was a silence so loud, you could almost hear crickets chirping from the other world.

"...he means we had a baby boy." You bluntly stated, uncovering some of the blanket so they could see your child.

At first there were gasps, before there were cheers and smiles all around as they came closer to congratulate you both.

The Barbies cooed at how adorable your son looked, while Midge asked you if he just "popped" out of your belly like her Real World counterpart (to which you said no, of course).

Meanwhile, Ken struck up a conversation with the other Kens, who had their own praise to give and told him about all the cool jobs and other opportunities they've gotten since he left.

Of course, though, he was the first among them to be a dad besides Sugar Daddy Ken.

"But enough about us, and more about your son..." Tourist Ken spoke up, leaning forward. "Tell me, is he shaping up to be a "beach boy" like his dad?"

"Nope. He's...definitely a momma's boy." With a warm smile, Ken looked to you, seeing how his son clung to you while looking mesmerized by all the colorful and sparkly things in the cul-de-sac. "But he has my eyes and...that's enough for me."

A small chorus of "awh's" were heard, but before all the guys could start spouting about the sports they wanted to teach your son, he noticed you approaching them.

He stood right up, his focus on you. "Yes, my love?"

"Oh! So..I was wondering..uh--girls, c'mon." You huffed to the giggling Barbies behind you, shooing them away. Then you turned back to your husband. "Anyways, they um...invited me to girls' night tonight. And they're hoping our little guy can come along, too!"

"........."

"It'll just be for a few hours, I-I promise." You nervously added, suddenly remembering how he felt about that event. "I won't be-"

"I don't mind if you two go."

You blinked. "...you don't?"

"Nah, the Kens said they're having their own boys' night on the beach...which so-happens to be tonight as well!" His grin returned. "You have fun with the ladies. You'll know where I'll be."

Those words brought a huge smile to your own face, and you stepped forward to peck him on the lips. "Thanks, sweetheart. You boys have fun.." Your gaze flickered to the male dolls. "Try not to "beach-off" my husband while I'm gone."

After that, you turned and walked back to the Barbies, while Ken stared at the other Kens, noticing their bewildered expressions.

"What?"

"Th-That was an actual kiss."

"I've never seen one like that before!"

"H-How did you do that???"

"...it took practice, and don't forget..I'm human now, too." He chuckled, feeling a bit smug. "Humans kiss very differently."

[macaron-monster]

There was so much excess glue around the neck anchor, that it stretched out her neck hole. I had to pull out chunks of glue, and boil the head to get it to stay on properly. 😐

I guess Mattel really is listening, this was a very authentic monster high unboxing experience!!

[wowstrawberrycow]

Adar's Living Dead Overhaul Part 1

Adar, babe. Yur wearing me out!😮‍💨

So first I gave him a hair cut. Then I boiled him to remove the head. After his head was removed I boiled the head longer to help loosen the glue inside and to help pop the dent out of his skull. ⬇️

I also have him a a bath in my sink. I'm not worried about removing stain marks as those will be covered up with a paint job and custom scaring later on. But the dirt needed to go bye bye

Then I noticed this nonsense!!! There is paper glued to his feet!!! I saw the tape and apparently the tape was to keep that paper on!!! Why Mattel???! Yur better than paper on your shoes! ⬇️

So yup! I'm definitely going to have to boil his feet to loosen the glue on those shoes. That paper has got to go! It's hard to get it off!😠

Then I tried to pull out the old blonde roots from his scalp. It's stuck in there really good. I'll definitely need to boil his head again and probably longer next time.😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 This was all I managed to rip out⬇️

And omg that rooting job is wildly uneven! Geeezzz! Yeah, I can tell he will be a challenge. But I'm going to put my best effort into him!!

[imreadydollparts]

I got an ask about commissioning me to deglue some doll heads and I don't do that for people.

It's a pain in the butt and I don't want to.

And, while I will say "I figured out the solution to Mattel's head glue", it was truly a collaborative effort.

@dolldirt mentioned using a floor cleaner and it worked, but he's not in the US and that floor cleaner didn't exist, here.

I decided screw it, I'll try this multi-purpose cleanser I COULD get called L.A.'s Totally Awesome and it worked (no others did)! So that's what I've been recommending to people, though it's a long, slow process and not very fun.

@firespirited did some research on the ingredients in the floor cleaner and Totally Awesome, found they both share ethoxylated alcohol (at least, I think that's what it was), did more research and found the same ingredient in CIF Cream cleanser (sometimes JIF, depending on region), but CIF also wasn't available in the states so I kept recommending Totally Awesome.

Scrub Daddy acquired CIF not too long ago, and now CIF is available here.

Where Totally Awesome can take a few days of soaking to get rid of the glue, CIF works really fast when applied like shampoo. However, that does only clean the hair on the outside of the head and not the glue inside the head whereas soaking in Totally Awesome will get the glue inside the head, too, so it would need to be redone now and then.

Regardless, it's great to have another option that works to remove the glue instead of just covering it up and hopefully it'll become even more readily available over time.

[firespirited]

girlies on dollsky talking about using scrub daddyTM Cif for degluing mattel glue gunk which is great, if a few years late... but they're not even putting it inside the heads.

OTL

impressed they're also using aliexpress silk milk (Kiwi/Qiyue nylon)

[a-gremlin-for-my-thoughts]

So, since a lot of people are talking about their experience with having Barbies in their youth, i'll tell you about my Trans Barbie Ken!

So, I had a lot of dolls, some were actual Barbies from Mattel, some were knockoffs, like Tania (an italian doll with rubber arms and a removable head) and some were actually not even Barbie shaped like a terrible Bratz knockoff. And Kens too of course.

The problem was that i didnt have enough male dolls to pair with my female dolls: i had California Ken, but he was obviously California Barbie's boyfriend. I had an Action Man but since he was supposed to stay on a boat he had his arms locked in a driving position and couldnt hug Barbies (but was perpetually half naked at least). I had a poor Ken that lost its head at some point, a very tragic death for my Barbie canon and a Max Steel who was actually amazing because he had a lot of bendable joints, he could even bend wrists and ankles (he could hug Barbies so he was top tier). And that's all. I even had to pair the Bratz knockoff with a Bionicle and another with a Godzilla toy.

So one day i tought: "Well, one of my Barbies must become a Ken, then!" I took one of them, i don't remember what model it was (she was black with straight hair but she wasn't Christie because I had one and their faces where different, she looked younger and had smaller features. I chose her because I didn't have a black Ken and i believe they werent around much to begin with back then), cut the hair short and put on Ken's clothes. But of course they didn't fit, the body was too small, so I wrapped her in some paper tape masking her breasts and waist, made her hands bigger and tried to glue some of her hair on the face to make a goatee (didn't work sadly).

And in my mind he wasn't a Barbie anymore, he became a really cute Ken and I treated him as such for the time being, making him hook up with Barbies and all.

It was almost 20 years ago but since my parents never taught me homophobia, it was a normal thing to do, you know? They were just amused by my craftiness and didn't say anything about it. I wish i'd kept him, i gave all of my Barbies away in my angsty teen phase but I really regret it now.

[augusteinautumn]

Barbie spoilers

So I just finished watching the Barbie movie like 20 minutes ago and it made me realize I had a problem, process it, and come to a conclusion all within the 2 hour run time.

So something I had slowly started to become aware of is that people around me are starting to treat me like a guy. My 6th month on T is in a couple days and I’m just now starting to see the social consequence (which I realize is very early into transition, your results will vary. I have always had higher levels of testosterone since birth). But my voice is deep, I have a baby mustache and hairy ass legs. And people treat me like a guy -a very ‘queer’(derogatory) guy- but still a guy. I haven’t really figured out what to do about it tho. I was pushing my voice down and nodding my head and listening to guys talking about their construction projects and pretending like I knew more than them about wood working.

I was walking down the street to get lunch the other day and this guy was walking close behind me. We ended up going to the same lights and crossing at the same time. So I turned to him, posted up without even thinking about it and said ‘I guess we’re just following each other huh?’. And he laughed and said that it looks like it. Then he doubled over and said that it was too hot for him (it was like 104 it was blazing). And my immediate reaction was to ask if he was okay…except I didn’t… I scoffed and said ‘yeah man’ and we kept going. We ended up at the same store.

After that I was like what’s wrong with me. The raised a girl part of me was scared of him, the now seen as a man part of me was sizing him up, but all I wanted to do was ask if he needed help. But I didn’t, I did the man thing and it made me feel uncomfortable with myself all over again. A hit of dysphoria but from the other direction like being in the middle of a three car collision.

But watching the Barbie movie I realized that like the Kens, I was performing that hyper masculine attitude because that was the category that I am now lumped into. I’m a Ken now (because people don’t see non-binary performance of gender) and as such my defenses kicked in and I performed my part. Even if I wasn’t raised as a guy, I still grew up seeing what men were supposed to be by being on the receiving end of it.

But much like the kens in the movie. That performance isn’t me, it’s a mask that I made out of Elmer’s glue and dried macaroni and it itches when I put it on. That wasn’t me that didn’t reach out to that guy( I mean it literally was me, I’m not trying to dodge responsibility, but like in a sense that I wasn’t the maker of that reaction, I just didn’t overcome it in the moment). I wanted to ask if I could help, but I listened to the script instead. I don’t want to perform for anyone. Not masculinity, not femininity, not anything. I’m not a court jester, I’m a hole ass batteries included, person. I just want more than anything to finally be me and be seen as me. Tear off all my masks and bells and get strait to the core of it all. And I think this is something I’ll be working towards for the rest of my life. I have a lot of masks to get through.

Anyways queers, yes, the Barbie movie is also for us, just maybe not the way Mattel intended it. (Pirate it if you can corpos get nothing)

[dollsonmain]

Was going backwards through my own doll/pony blog and in 2 years it'll be A DECADE since I first treated Mattel's head glue with L.A.'s Totally Awesome.

What in the actual fuck.
